There is, quite literally, nothing different about this election in this regard. Russians were doing that in 2014 (as well as long before, including letters to the editor, etc. back in the day when newspaper ink got on your fingers if you were getting information) before Trump was even a candidate. Seriously. This is not something new. The Russians like to try to mess around in election times, but have, as in this case, always been pretty ineffective in actually changing election results.
This isn't "collusion" with Russians by anybody, this isn't anything that they've been trying to get you to believe all this time. This is some Russian tweets, ineffective tweets too according to the conclusion in the report.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle
